Re: Problem with installing gnome
Try installing gnome-desktop-environment on its own and see what comes up. I remember having this problem, and I tried each package individually until it finally spat something out at me which was helpful.

Re: Problem with installing gnome
maybe it is because gnome-2.8 is coming into the unstable and it will last for several days?

I am using Pure unstable Sid. GNOME 2.8 is in the process of trickling into Sid. It has been suggested that one treads carefully when trying to upgrade these packages because there will be some dependency problems where certain packages haven't made it in yet. Case in point, when the libeel packages were first available, synaptic wanted to remove almost everything else GNOME-related. I waited until the next day, and enough packages were available that nothing needed to be removed. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
